Four children help Prince Caspian and his army of Talking Beasts to free Narnia from evil.
I really wish no one had told me that this series was a massive allegory because that was all I could think about.
From Caspian's escape to his battle to reclaim the kingdom, this book is all about action. It's no surprise they made this one into a movie.

From Caspian's escape to his battle to reclaim the kingdom, this book is all about action. It's no surprise they made this one into a movie.
Prince Caspian has been lied to his entire life. There are talking animals, dwarfs still exist in the world, and the wood near the sea is not full of ghosts. But above all, the great Lion, Aslan, is not the demon that his uncle thinks him to be.
Centuries have passed since Narnia's golden age, when High King Peter and his brother and sisters ruled valiantly. In that time, Cair Paravel has turned to ruin, and the newcomer Telmarines have nearly taken over all of Narnia from the fantastic talking animals who once dominated it, forcing them all to go into hiding or stop talking and shrink to normal beasts. But Caspian has heard of the beauties of the old days, and has no desire to be a despot like his uncle. And with the help of an ancient artifact and the support of all the amazing talking beasts he can find, he'll marshal an army to take on the evil Telmarines and take Narnia back for the people who truly love it.
This book is action-packed and brilliant, and Caspian has wisdom far beyond his years. An excellent part of the series that marks the Pevensie's return to the land that they love, and introduces us to the second great age of Narnia.
I read this to Lizzie on my iPad Kindle app.
